Those dirty little cigs!!!!! I'm THROUGH with you!



Recommended Posts

I have been struggling for the past 6 months to quit smoking so that I can get my bypass in June. Well I'm here today to tell you.... I'm through! I quit! I'm done with those nasty little things. I have to much riding on this. I'm not going to fail this time. As hard as it's been in the past to quit for some reason I just sat them down and said I quit. I know it's not going to be easy. It's going to be hard for sure, but I'm a stubborn woman! I've GOT this. My goal from here on until my surgery is to get back on Saxenda and lose the 10 lbs I need to for the clinic. I have an appt today with the PA, and I'm really hoping they don't test me for nicotine since it's still in me right now. I'm through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to you! That is a huge step. I quit ion my birthday this past September. I just smoked the one cigarette that was left on 9/10/16 and haven't touched any since!

I quit smoking many times in the past, but this time was different. It's the first time I tried cold turkey and it worked!

High five, Lady! You are awesome!

I hope your appointment went well!

Take care!

That's great!! Im 3 months smoke free, after being a smoker for 15 years. My surgeon is very strict on being smoke free. He nicotine tests at 1, 3, and 6 months, as well as a random. He requires 6 months smoke free before surgery. I finally just set a date, and stopped! I did take chantix for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after. My fiance still smokes, and the smell of it now disgusts me!! Congrats on quitting, its a HUGE accomplishment, and really shows your dedication to your weight loss program! Hope your appointment went well!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
